حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ، (يَعْنِي ابْنَ قَيْسٍ) عَنْ أَبِي، سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى عَامِرِ بْنِ كُرَيْزٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَنَاجَشُوا وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَلَا يَبِعْ بَعْضُكُمْ عَلَى بَيْعِ بَعْضٍ وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا. الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يَخْذُلُهُ وَلَا يَحْقِرُهُ.

التَّقْوَى هَا هُنَا». وَيُشِيرُ إِلَى صَدْرِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ «بِحَسْبِ امْرِئٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أَنْ يَحْقِرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ كُلُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ دَمُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعِرْضُهُ»

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: Don’t nurse grudge and don’t bid him out for raising the price and don’t nurse aversion or enmity and don’t enter into a transaction when the others have entered into that transaction and be as fellow-brothers and servants of Allah. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He neither oppresses him nor humiliates him nor looks down upon him.

The piety is here, (and while saying so) he pointed towards his chest thrice. It is a serious evil for a Muslim that he should look down upon his brother Muslim. All things of a Muslim are inviolable for his brother in faith: his blood, his wealth and his honour.

আবূ বাকর ইবনু আবূ শায়বাহ ও ইবনু নুমায়র (রহঃ) ..... ইবনু উমর (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। রসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম রমযান সাসে সওমে বিসাল আরম্ভ করলেন। তা দেখে সাহাবীগণও সওমে বিসাল আরম্ভ করলেন। এরপর তিনি তাদেরকে সওমে বিসাল করতে নিষেধ করলেন। এতে তাকে প্রশ্ন করা হল, আপনি তো সওমে বিসাল করছেন। উত্তরে তিনি বললেন, আমি তোমাদের মতো নই। আমাকে তো খাওয়ানো হয় এবং পান করানো হয়।

ابو بکر بن ابی شیبہ ، عبداللہ بن نمیر ، عبیداللہ ، نافع ، حضرت ابن عمر رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے روایت ہے کہ رسول اللہ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے رمضان میں وصال فرمایا ( یعنی بغیر افطاری کے مسلسل روزے رکھے ) لہذا صحابہ رضوان اللہ عنھم اجمعین نے بھی وصال شروع کردیا تو آپ نے ان کو منع فرمایا ۔

آپ سے عرض کیا گیا کہ آپ بھی تو وہ وصال کرتے ہیں ۔ آپ نے فرمایا کہ میں تمہاری طرح نہیں ہوں کیونکہ مجھے کھلایا اور پلایاجاتا ہے ۔

Telah menceritakannya kepada kami [Abu Bakar bin Abu Syaibah] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Numair] -dalam jalur lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ibnu Numair] telah menceritakan kepada kami [bapakku] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Ubaidullah] dari [Nafi'] dari [Ibnu Umar] radliallahu 'anhuma, bahwa Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam melakukan puasa Wishal di bulan Ramadlan, sehingga orang-orang pun ikut melakukannya.

Mengetahui hal itu, maka beliau melarang mereka. Akhirnya mereka bertanya, "Bukankah Anda sendiri melakukan puasa wishal?" beliau bersabda: "Sesungguhnya saya, tidaklah sebagaimana kalian, karena saya diberi makan dan minum (oleh Rabb-ku)." Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdul Warits bin Abdush Shamad] telah menceritakan kepadaku [bapakku] dari [kakekku] dari [Ayyub] dari [Nafi'] dari [Ibnu Umar] radliallahu 'anhu, dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, dengan hadits semisalnya, namun ia tidak mengatakan; "Di bulan Ramadlan

Bize, bu hadîsi Ebû Bekir b. Ebi Şeybe de rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Abdullah b. Numeyr rivayet etti, H. Bize İbni Numeyr de rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize babam rivayet etti. (Dediki) Bize Ubeydullah, Nâfi'den, o da İbni Ömer (Radiyallahû anh)'dan naklen rivayet eyledi ki, Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) Ramazanda visal yapmış, (Onu görünce) halk da visal yapmışlar.

Bunun üzerine Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem) onları bundan menetmiş. Kendisine : — «Ama sen visal yapıyorsun.» diyenler olmuş. Resulullah (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve Sellem): — «Ben sizin gibi değilim. Çünkü ben doyurulur ve sulanırım.» buyurmuşlar

What it means

The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) advised the Muslim to be kind to his fellow Muslims and outlined some of the duties and etiquettes he is required to observe toward them, including the following: First advice: Do not envy one another by wishing others may lose the blessings they have. Second: Do not raise prices by overbidding against one another.

By doing so, a person does not really want to buy the commodity, except to benefit the seller or harm the buyer. Third: Do not hate one another. It is the intention to cause harm, as opposed to love, unless hatred is for the sake of Allah Almighty, which is obligatory. Fourth: Do not turn your backs on each other, forsaking and abandoning one another.

Fifth: Do not undercut one another in trade. It is when a person says to someone who bought a commodity: I have the like of it at a lower price or a higher-quality commodity at the same price. Then, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gave comprehensive advice, saying: Be like brothers, by abandoning the aforementioned prohibitions and showing cordiality, kindness, compassion, gentleness, and cooperation in goodness, while having pure hearts and sincerity in all conditions.

The following are among the requirements of this brotherliness: Not to wrong his Muslim brother or transgress against him. Not to leave his Muslim brother to be wronged, failing to support him in a situation where he can help him and remove the injustice practiced against him. Not to belittle him or look down upon him with contempt and disdain; this stems from arrogance in the heart.

Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) pointed out three times that piety lies in the heart, and whoever has piety in his heart, which entails good morals and fear and heedfulness of Allah, will not belittle a Muslim. Indeed, it is enough for him, as an evil trait and reprehensible manner, to belittle his fellow Muslim, for this results from arrogance in his heart.

Then the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed the aforementioned, saying that all of a Muslim is inviolable to another Muslim: his blood: to attack him by killing, injuring, beating him, or the like; his property: to take any of his properties unjustly; and his honor: to malign him or his lineage.

What it teaches

  • The Hadīth commands all that is entailed by faith-oriented brotherliness and prohibits all words and deeds that contradict it.
  • The essence of piety is the knowledge of Allah and the fear and heedfulness of Him that lie in the heart. This piety leads to the performance of righteous deeds.
  • Outward deviation indicates weakness of piety in the heart.
  • Harming a Muslim in any way, by word or action, is prohibited.
  • It is not part of envy that a Muslim wishes to be like someone else without hoping for the removal of the blessing from him. This is called "Ghibtah", and it is permissible and it prompts people to compete for good things.
  • By nature, man dislikes being surpassed by others in any virtue. If he wishes for the removal of that virtue from another, it is the blameworthy envy. However, if he desires to compete for it, it is the permissible Ghibtah.
  • A Muslim is not regarded to be undercutting his fellow Muslim in trade if he alerts the buyer that he has been grossly deceived in a certain transaction. In fact, this falls under sincere advice, provided that his intention is to advise his brother, the buyer, not to harm the seller, and actions depend on the intentions.
  • A Muslim is not regarded to be undercutting his fellow Muslim in trade if the buyer and seller have not agreed and settled over a price.
  • Hatred for the sake of Allah does not fall under the hatred prohibited in the Hadīth; rather, it is a duty and one of the firmest handholds of faith.
